Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the kind words- I have never experienced such weird & severe muscle pain. I am so thankful I can walk now.

I am sure my labs will be fine soon and I will start at a reduced rate. Can you tell me how long you have been on Alectinib? I forgot-

Good morning April (@aprilradek), I was recently put on another med for something unrelated to the cancer. I did a workout that I do regularly and had unexpected sore muscles, that seems better now, so maybe my body just adjusts to it better than some people. These meds impact us all differently, which seems strange, but they are pretty powerful. I know there are stage IV people on lower doses and have success for a long time.
I started alectinib on 5/1/2020. I’m coming up on 4 years and hoping for many more. I honestly wasn’t sure that I would make it this long. Grateful.
